Thank you for your interest in the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education (AFPE) Implementation Scholar Award for individuals who participated in the AACP workshop Implement – Implementation Science for Transforming Pharmacy Practice and Education. The purpose of this award is to support workshop participants in the further planning of and preparation for an implementation science research project. Goals for the award could include furthering your growth as an implementation researcher, advancing preparation of a funding proposal, or helping establish the necessary partnerships for a project. All participants in the February 18 workshop are welcome to apply for an Implementation Scholar Award, even if they didn’t submit a project idea for discussion at the workshop.
Selection for the award is based on a competitive application process. The application provides information about your implementation science research project idea and outlines your plan for using the award for professional development and/or other activities that will support planning and preparation for your project. We encourage individuals with varying levels of implementation science research experience to apply. The project information and relevant background provided should allow evaluation of the project’s significance and contribution to your continued development as an implementation researcher. The detail and sophistication of the project information should reflect your experience and the project’s maturity. The award plan should be appropriate for your level of experience in implementation science research and likely to advance project planning and preparation.
Applications are due Monday, May 15.
